Expands on Elden Ring’s deep lore and mechanics
Fantastic new challenges for players
Masterfully designed world and combat
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is an Souls-like expansion that builds upon the critically acclaimed base game. Critics praise its intricate world design, engaging new challenges and deepened lore. The expansion condenses the essence of Elden Ring into a more compact campaign while retaining the thrilling combat and discovery that defines the series. However, some critics feel the shift toward explicit storytelling detracts from its original charm, and others note that it could have expanded upon Elden Ring's endings.
